Discrete-Time Adaptive Control of Nonlinear Systems with Input Delay

This paper presents a discrete-time adaptive control approach for non-sector bounded nonlinear systems with input delay. The aim of this work is to present an adaptive controller design that can compensate for the rapid growth of the nonlinear function. It is shown that an adaptive controller design that compensates for the growth of the nonlinearity is possible for both scalar and higher-order systems with input delay. Simulations are presented to verify the validity of the approach.
